BANK OF NEW YORK, etc., appellant,
v.
Denise MULLIGAN, et al., defendants.

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.

July 16, 2014.


Tompkins, McGuire, Wachenfeld & Barry, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Andrew P. Zacharda of counsel), for appellant.

In an action to foreclose a mortgage, the plaintiff appeals (1), as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schack, J.), dated June 3, 2008, as denied its ex parte application for an order of reference and for leave to enter a default judgment against certain defendants, and (2) an order of the same court dated August 25, 2010, which denied its renewed application for an order of reference and for leave to enter a default judgment against certain defendants

[989 N.Y.S.2d 296]

and, sua sponte, directed the dismissal of the complaint with prejudice and the cancellation of the notice of pendency filed against the subject real property.

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the appeals from so much of the orders as denied the plaintiff's ex parte applications are deemed applications pursuant to CPLR 5704(a) to modify those portions of the orders, and the applications are denied, as the plaintiff failed to submit an affidavit in accordance with CPLR 3215(f) made by the plaintiff or an authorized agent of the plaintiff ( see HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v.

ORDERED that the order dated August 25, 2010, is modified, on the law, by deleting the provisions thereof directing dismissal of the complaint with prejudice and the cancellation of the notice of pendency filed against the subject real property; as so modified, the order dated August 25, 2010, is affirmed insofar as reviewed on the appeal, without costs or disbursements.
